A Friday Laugh Or Two

We've got a lot more to say, especially about how the GOP has transformed America into the United States of Torture, but let's ease back the throttle today. Hopefully, you'll have a laugh or two from the following:

There are many hackneyed sayings by now about someone's lack of brainwaves activity but we hadn't seen these before:

  • The wheel's spinning, but the hamster's dead.
  • All foam, no beer.
  • Body by Fisher, brains by Mattel.
  • He fell out of the Stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.
  • An intellect rivaled only by garden tools.
  • Dpesn't know much but leads the league in nostril hair.
  • Forgot to pay his brain bill. 
  • Surfing in Nebraska.
  • Too much yardage between the goal posts.
Below, we've tried to eliminate the ones we've come across before:

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
  • Karl Marx:
    It was a historical inevitability.

  • Thomas de Torquemada:
    Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out.

  • Timothy Leary:
    Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take.

  • Oliver North:
    National Security was at stake.
  • Darwin:
    It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.

  • Ralph Waldo Emerson:
    It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.

  • Jack Nicholson:
    Cause it (censored) wanted to. That's the (censored) reason.

  • Ronald Reagan:
    I forget.

  • Mark Twain:
    The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.

  • Kafka:
    Hardly the most urgent enquiry to make of a low-grade insurance clerk who woke up that morning as a hen.

  • Macbeth:
    To have turned back were as tedious as to go o'er.

  • Hamlet:
    That is not the question.

Finally, no offense intended with this one but we sure laughed:

Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, "I must tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent."

"Thank God," said an elderly nun at the back. "I'm so tired of chardonnay."
